Well good evening everybody! How’s it going and stuff?…I’m doing all right; and feeling good because I’m sewing….that’s how I know I’m feeling like myself is when I cant help but sew…..Within the last month I’ve copped at least 12-15 new patterns…some from my recent thrifting trips and some from Hancock’s….I took my time sifting through the patterns this go’ round; maybe because I had the stores to myself…some trips were on my lunch break…what did I eat for lunch you ask?…some gummy worms and a water! hahahahaahaha!…..I always try to make a good dinner though when I do myself like that for lunch….but I really grabbed some good ones; and was even able to find some Fashion Star ones that I thought were discontinued….I recently cleaned my sewing room too and purged two big bags of scraps I had been hoarding for waaaaaayyyyy too long and threw away other unnecessary stuff I had thrown in there….my sewing space can breath again! Whew!….
This evening I decided to make myself a new a top…I need one for tomorrow; a few of my besties are having a cookout…My friend got a new place and invited everyone over this weekend for fun and festivities!…I bought some printed pants a few weeks ago from Ross but I didn’t get a shirt; matter of fact I didn’t even look…and I didn’t have one I wanted to pair with the pants in my closet….I could have actually sewn the pants I bought with no problem buuuuuut they were only like $11 dollars and I hadn’t seen that particular chevron printed fabric…soooooo I grabbed ’em up……McCall’s M6751 View D to the rescue for the top dilemma though….I went to my stash and grabbed a yard of some aqua-colored stretch lace from Hancock’s the other day and it turned out perfect for the project….it sewed up quick too; it only had two pattern pieces with no facings or anything…I serged the inside seams to clean ’em up….that serger boy I tell ya’; I love that thing and my Auntie is thee BEST for sending it to me….the lace fabric will come in handy too being as though its supposed to be 100+ degrees tomorrow here, Lawd….
Well I’ll share the pictures now and stop my rambling….y’all know how I can go on with my sewing stuff (wink-wink)…talk to you good people soon!

the before…those are my new Mundial pinking shears…they’re pretty cool!
Front view…I left the basting stitches in…smh…I gotta get those out and re-press…damn…..
Side View….
a back shot…its one of those hi-low numbers….whatcha’ think?….(try to ignore the basting stitches when you consider….;)
basting stitches removed and re-pressed….looks MUCH better….I swear my mind moves too fast when I sew sometimes…I already have the next project on my table. 😉
